I hate this school it is sexist and bias towards guys

This school is a pit. The bullying is off the charts with teachers and the administration doing everything they can do to cover it up. Even the teachers rated it the 2nd worst school in the FWPS system. Stay away! Your children's safety is at stake.

I was very concerned with the low score, but have been pleasantly surprised. Miss Jackson is an excellent teacher.

I wish I could say better things about this school, I really had high hopes when we moved here. My children have been here for the past 6 years. The school has failed to challenge the highly capable students, instead teachers use them to help teach academically struggling students. The staff fail to directly address bullying when observed, letting the bully go without recourse. The staff's response to address problems with a few students, results in all students being punished or limited in some way. They fail to use critical thinking to improve classroom management, and thus cannot teach the children this vital skill. The teachers are pleasant enough, but simply, not effective. Disappointing was to find out they do not have the support of their leadership. As the saying goes, "when a fish stinks, it stinks from the head".

I am a previous student and man wow. Ther were way too many rules i got a conduct report for jumping off a 2 foot ledge. I was in the gifted program and i liked that. I really did not like the principal and the p.e teacher. P.e, music and library are only a half hour , boring, and not even every day.

Thoroughly impressed with the standards based education my kids have received! Kuddos to the hard working staff!

I believe that this is a great school that supports your students independence and however the principal is often focused on the wrong things. Thier Gifted and Talented program selelction process is very flawed. However, when forced to make a choice about a good school in the district I would definitely choose this school for my child. Lots of nuturing success focused teachers and a family friendly environment. It has a private school feel.

So very sad, just a few short years ago Woodmont was an exceptional school. Many good teachers have fled, test scores down and a principal who boarders on the incompetent.
